Re: Backup and Restore Failure

Hello

I followed the instructions here: Decrypt restore key 
<http://jim-st.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/ipcop-backup-restore-after-install.html> 
to decrypt the  key.  I then overwrote the backup.key file and was then 
able to load a restore set.

I was then able to use the set to complete a restore.

Is there anyway of changing the manual, or making the software more user 
friendly?
I like IPCop but this functionality is definitely broken.


Regards
Darren
